Despite geopolitical tensions, the US dollar has strengthened due to its unmatched liquidity as a safe haven during uncertain times. Jeff Christian explains that while the US economy is performing better than Europe's, the dollar's rise is primarily a flight to safety, not a sign of fundamental economic dominance.
“Because uh when things get tough, people move to the US dollar and they move to gold and silver.”
“So, it's not unusual that you would see the dollar rising even though the United States is the instigator of a lot of the political and international tensions right now, it's still the most liquid market.”
“So, what you've been seeing since April is strength in the US dollar because it's the place where you put money when things look really bad.”
